First sentence: Although there is no universally agreed-upon definition of serial homicide in all its particulars (Keeney and Heide, 1995; McKenzie, 1995), the majority of researchers, investigators, and clinicians view serial murder as sexually motivated and as basically a sub-type of sexual homicide (e.g., Geberth and Turco, 1997; Grubin, 1994; Lunde, 1976; Myers et al., 1993; Ressler et al., 1988 Revitch and Schlesinger, 1981, 1989; Warren et al., 1996).
